Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breathe? and it's beautiful. The guys are young and cute and fit. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force.
From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Echavarri, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S.
and its underdog roots. Listen to American Football on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And I'm CJ Toledano. It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs.
We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments.
If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying. You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow.
Then after that game seven, Mark keep coming to me. He's like, you know, I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs.
This was just basketball.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. World Cup, every single country's got a match in. We've watched them all. The United States, Germany, Argentina, and England look really strong. France, Spain, Portugal, watching the aging of Cristiano Ronaldo. He kind of fell flat yesterday. So we've been doing this at the top of our two. Everybody's played a match. There have been, as of five minutes ago, 76 goals scored so far at the World Cup.
So here is our Super Six, the six best goals so far at the Cup. Number six.
Gio Reyna. Gio Reyna!
Gio Reyna outside of the booth for Bost, bends it around heel. Just a sensational goal from Gio Reyna. Number five.
And Shpain Azurlaev coming across to cover from the left. And still they come again. Luis Diaz on finally. And it's Daniel Munoz. And Colombia are up and running.
Number four. Victor Lindelof taking room one, trying to find Isak. He might be able to get a touch here. Parried away initially. It's Victor Jokeresen. It's cleared off the line.
Still a chance available here for Sweden.
And it's in. What a strike. And what a start for the Swedes. And it's Yasin Ayari.
What a big moment for the man from Brighton.
But this is just quality. An absolute peach of a finish from Yasin Ayari.
Number three. Balogun, can he get inside? Still Balogun! Flo Balogun! Just a beauty for a second of the game. Flo Balogun, U.S. 3-0 in the first half. So dominant. Excellent stop.
Number two.
Well, Mbappe has another one! 3-1. Some response from France. What a hit. Mbappe knows exactly what he wants to do when he turns here. And what a fantastic goal. Number one. Right up the gut. What a ball that is. Messi on the turn.
Options either side.
Lean on Messi!
There's your goal! There's more history!
There's the magic man again! Find Messi there, running at your back line. Good luck! Cuts onto the left foot, and he picks out that top corner. And now Messi's on the board. Boy, what a spectacular opening week of the World Cup. And he's a former NBA writer. My favorite podcaster out there, Ethan Strauss, House of Strauss, got his Substack. Fascinating articles this week.
How is the 2026 World Cup changing soccer’s popularity in the United States?
All right. So there's going to be, and this is my entire life, there's been people that won't invest in it. They'll mock it. They'll roll their eyes. This feels different. The first half against Paraguay felt different. Does it feel like to you... that we've made that soccer's making more of a leap into the mainstream? I think it feels bigger than big right now. You guys must be delighted about it over at Fox. The comparison point that I looked at was that in 1994, when the World Cup was in the United States, and back then we didn't like soccer much, but there was a monoculture and we were going to watch whatever was on TV.
